Hello John,
>*Don't* "track" Testing or Unstable by upgrading nightly.
I'm with songbird (and others). It can be done, with care;
I subscribe to the 'Testing Changes' mailing list.
I subscribe to the 'Debian Developers' mailing list.
I subscribe to the 'Debian KDE' mailing list.
I update daily, but 'cherry pick' in the event of transitions that
_might_ have repercussions.
By reading, or at least scanning, those lists, I can update fairly
safely. I only came unstuck once, and that simply resulted in me having
to enter a password twice at a login prompt. A situation that was
rectified a couple of days later when KDM (as was in use at the time)
got updated.
I considered upgrading to sid, but decided against it because I'm far
from knowledgeable enough to sort problems out myself, should they arise.
